Lamp Land - A Curation of Light & Shadow

Lamp Land opens at After Hours Gallery on Friday, October 23, and it's going to be around for a while. The show runs through November 21, so if you can't make it the first weekend, you've got a good stretch of time to fit it in.

It's a curation of light and shadow, and that's really the whole point of it. The title, Lamp Land, points right to where the work is coming from: the way light hits a room, the shapes it makes, and the shadows it leaves behind. It's the kind of thing that's more about how you look at it than what you're looking at, so it's worth taking your time with it rather than rushing through.

Since it's running for nearly a month, you can come back more than once. The light in the gallery will change from the bright afternoons of October to the shorter, darker days of November, and that's exactly what a show about light and shadow is meant for. You'll see the work differently on a rainy Tuesday than you will on a clear Saturday.

After Hours Gallery is in Minneapolis, and the show runs from October 23 through November 21.
